2.1 Sticker Pack Info

Category
Pricing
Regarding the sticker pack pricing, you have options to select Free, Paid, or Premium sticker packs. Paid and Premium sticker pack pricing varies depending on the sticker pack type (static or animated). To learn more about pricing, click here.
2.2 Upload stickers
Next, it’s time to upload the sticker files. If you are working on a static sticker pack, upload the PNG files here. If they are animated, upload GIF files. You can learn more about the specifics of sticker files in the Guidelines page. In short, you should be uploading 10~30 sticker files here.
Once the files are uploaded, you’ll see an option to enter sticker tags (or keywords) below each sticker and a bulk tag option. First, use the bulk tag option to add tags that apply to all of the stickers (for example, if your character is a cat, “cat” would be a good bulk tag), and then add action or emotion-related tags to each sticker.
Pack name
Character name
Character type – is your character a dog? a baby? a tomato?
Pack theme – is your pack about summer? fall season?
Emotion – is your sticker pack full of funny stickers? or super cute designs
Action – are your stickers running? jumping? laughing?
You can always use synonyms to optimize the chance of your pack being found by users. After you finish writing down everything, make sure there are no typos!
2.3 Preview
Only one more step to go! Check the sticker order and click on a sticker to make it the main sticker of the pack. Finally, add the app tray icon (100 x 100 px) which is a small icon that users click to open the pack on iMessage.
Once you are all set click Submit to upload your sticker pack for a review. The review will typically take 2~5 business days. During the review, the Stipop content team will make sure that all the sticker files are ready for all the different messengers. Once it’s live, you will be notified through the email. You can also see the stickers you’ve uploaded on the Review page.
